Methionine sulfoxide reductases, enzymes that reverse the oxidation of methionine residues, have been described in a wide range of species. The reduction of the diastereoisomers of oxidized methionine is catalyzed by two different monomeric methionine sulfoxide reductases (MsrA and MsrB)…

Protein disulfide oxidoreductases (PDOs) are redox enzymes that catalyze dithioldisulfide exchange reactions. Their sequences and structure reveal the presence of two thioredoxin fold units, each of which is endowed with a catalytic site CXXC motif. PDOs are the outcome of…

In this work we have studied the influence of the gaze stabilizing movements of the eye on the quality of the retinal image of the human eye obtained by double pass methods. The results obtained agree with the expected differences…

Since the advent of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982, Canadians courts have become bolder in the law-making entreprise, and have recently resorted to unwritten constitutional principles in an unprecedented fashion. In 1997, in Reference re Remuneration…

Objective: Although the relationship between area socioeconomic environment and obesity is known, previous research has measured area socioeconomic environment at only one point in time. This study evaluates the relationship of cumulative area-based adverse socioeconomic environment with body mass index…

The second-order harmonic balance method is used to construct three approximate frequency-amplitude relations for a conservative nonlinear singular oscillator in which the restoring force is inversely proportional to the dependent variable. Two procedures are used to solve the nonlinear differential…

A re-designed microwave-based thermal nebulizer (MWTN) that overcomes all the drawbacks shown by previous prototypes (i.e. lack of robustness, poor heating efficiency) is presented. The new device employs an optimized TM010 cavity and nozzle design. MWTN performance was evaluated in…
